In stoke, you can not book a table. You normally go to the welcoming person, they take your name and direct you to the drinking/bar/play area and call you on a display on the wall when ready.

Last time I went it was around 3pm of a Sat afternoon, and it was heaving. Went at 6-7pm once on a weekday and gave up as it was looking to be about a hour wait.

Wigan may be different???? (I know the people are...)

ive never been before and just fancied a change, we normally go to a very nice buffet chinese in bolton centre which is always busy but never had to wait longer than 30mins. will see what my fella says when he gets home, dont think i could wait nearly an hour plus it will probably be even more jam packed with it being kids holidays.
